Anchorage paintball attacks

The Anchorage paintball attacks of January 14, 2001 were a series of pre-meditated and racially motivated drive-by shootings targeted at Alaska Natives in downtown Anchorage that night. These attacks, described by the news media and by Alaska legislators as hate crimes, and by Anchorage mayor George Wuerch as "racism at its worst",[1] sparked a broader debate about race relations in Alaska.[2]
